§13-2A-16. Article complete authority for refunding bonds;
liberal construction.
This article constitutes full and complete authority for the
issuance of refunding bonds. No procedure or proceedings,
publications, notices, consents, approvals, orders, acts or
things by any governing body of any public body, or any board,
officer, commission, department, agency, or instrumentality of
the state or any public body shall be required to issue any
refunding bonds or to do any act or perform anything under this
article, except as may be prescribed in this article. The powers
conferred by this article shall be in addition and supplemental
to, and not in substitution for, and the limitations imposed by
this article shall not affect the powers conferred by any other
law: Provided, however, That the principal amount of bonds
authorized by this article for refunding or refinancing shall be
deemed to apply to the principal amount of refunding bonds
authorized by all other laws providing for the issuance and
refunding of revenue bonds by public bodies, and the sale
thereof, notwithstanding any contrary provisions of such other
laws. This article is remedial in nature and shall be liberally
construed.
